Live like you’re on holiday every day
WITH its seaside location, first class facilities and lowmaintenance accommodation, retirement living at Portarlington Village offers over 55s more than just a place to reside.
“It’s a lifestyle choice,” developer Derek McLaughlan explained.
“It’s like being on holidays every day of the year.”
The village is located within the Portarlington township, only 150 metres from the town’s picturesque northfacing beach.
Designed with resort-style living in mind, the village’s coastal location sets the tone for the relaxed lifestyle on offer.
On-site facilities include a centrally-located clubhouse which boasts a heated pool, gym, library, billiard room, bar, function room, barbecue facilities and a kiosk area.
Maintenance is included, ensuring residents have more time to spend on the activities they enjoy, while 24-hour emergency support and CCTV monitoring provide safety and security.
“The village is designed for people that are retired but who are still active and are looking to do something else,” Mr McLaughlan said.
“They might still be living in a family home that’s too big for them, and their money is tied up in that asset.
“Making the decision to live at Portarlington Village means they can cash in the big house, then downsize to a nice, new house, and mix with people of a similar age group and with similar interests.
“Then, with some cash left over, they can look at investing, or even do a bit of travelling.
“They can go away and know the house is locked up and looked after.
“There’s also the comfort of knowing maintenance is taken care of, so you’ve got more time to do other things.
“It’s very much a new lifestyle choice.”
Accommodation options at Portarlington Village are flexible with two-bedroom, two-bedroom plus study, and three-bedroom options currently available.
“There are currently five different designs offered and that’s likely to increase to six or seven designs soon,” Mr McLaughlan said.
Portarlington Village boasts several finished homes ready to welcome their potential owners and Mr McLaughlan said future builds are also an option for those looking to personalise their home. Items such as floor coverings, fittings and fit-outs can be customised for those looking to stamp an individual touch.
“There is so much on offer,” Mr McLaughlan explained.
“The facilities, both internally and externally, are first class. Our location is a two minute walk to the beach and we’ve got the Portarlington Golf Club — which has been voted the best regional club in Victoria for the last two years — just 400 metres away.
“Because of our location and facilities, you really are living somewhere where you feel like you are on holiday every day.”
